I can't find it now but will repost it here when I do ... Anyway, one of the things Rawls kept saying was [WARNING TO PAUL ... DO NOT READ PAST THIS PART OF MY POST!] " become a radio ham ... become a radio ham ..." precisely because when the 'interweb' gets turned off, there will be, via ham radio, useful, viable alternatives for us to use. Damn, I wish I could find that link

It's towards the end that he talks about then net being unplugged.

Paah, bacon!
Thanks for the link 'BOB'.
I had already found JWR.
Some of his thinking's can get a bit extreme if not totally wacky.

The reason for highlighting the "switch" story was I've always been afear of a "Skynet" type scenario where the internet becomes 'self aware'.
Up to a few years ago, internationally, it was easy to dump the internet by just killing off a few international hubs BUT now satellite systems have taken over a huge amount of the transmission load, I didn't think it possible.
So up pops the God of the internet and makes a stunning statement like he has and I've got to wonder if he knows something but isn't allowed to say what.
As for the internet going down?
I'm not worried as my bookshelf is full of downloaded 'stuff' regarding self help, prepping, survivalism, first aid, and the like.
I'd just miss chatting to everyone.
Still I'd get to play a heck of a lot more Freecell!

p.s. I don't actually hate bacon. Between bread it's lovely.
I just dislike radio hams for interfering with my radio activities.
